Of course old fire exit boy was sacrificed and ended up on stage with a young female where they had to do a little jumping to the left and right and a some mock slapping. That turned out to be a fatal mistake as when the huge American MC, dressed totally in black, told us what we could do and what we couldn’t and he would hurt us if we did, he then asked if anyone hadn’t seen the show. When we were seated the only bloke that was straighter than me, sat at the end near the fire escape because, I found out later, he was concerned about it burning down. I could nearly say that we were the strange looking ones, if the majority was ruled to be normal. One of the highlights was arriving at the kerbside in our car to see a line stretching the length of the footpath, all heading to the Globe, all dressed somewhat weirdly and a guy holding a sign which read “Sold Out”.īut our meticulous host had arranged for his nephew to meet us and hold a spot in the queue.
That immediately made me think of two things – was there some kind of scandal today or was it to roll up and stick down our pants? That had me worried but there were no sex toys or blow-up dolls, just water pistols, rice and toast.Īs we drove to Brisbane our host made a phone call in which he asked an unidentified person whether he could get newspapers for everyone.

It turned out he was inside with his in-laws and either their huge dog needed a hearing aid or no-one could hear over the three roast chickens they had destroyed.īut soon we were on our way with an esky (where we were careful to only have three standard drinks) and a bag full of props for the show. “In your driveway for the last 10 minutes, where are you?” I replied. I rang the mate’s mobile and got “where are you?”. He looked like he was “jumping to the left and taking a step to his right,” if you know what I mean.īut after no response he came back to the car defeated.

I should have known it was going to be a bizarre evening when we went to pick up our host and the driver kept pushing the doorbell and then jumping out to wave his hands at the sensor light as no-one answered.
Just a day before we were going I found out that he was getting his tweed jacket pressed at the dry cleaner because he thought he was going to the live theatre, not a musty old picture show across the road from the peep show capital of Queensland.īut the night was upon us and because there were four couples we hired a limo which sort of added a bit to the $15 cover charge to get in.

It sounded bizarre but I agreed, albeit reluctantly.Īs the day got closer I pulled out a few possible excuses of why we couldn’t make it, particularly after I started thinking about the plot of the movie – sweet transvestites and all.īut I became a little keener when I found out that old mate’s boss was coming and he is that straight he makes me look like the Dalai Lama. On further inquiry he told me that the night was in the Globe Picture Theatre in Fortitude Valley and there was an actual cast that performed the show (miming) in front of the screen and, of course, crowd participation. When I told old mate that we had seen it many times I was told, “Not like this you haven’t”. Now I immediately thought it was a stage production but no, I was informed, it was the movie. Friday the 13th of June has been and gone but it is one I will never forget.Ī few weeks ago I was asked by a friend whether my wife and I would like to go to Brisbane to see the Rocky Horror Show.
